It was reported by Jay Glazer of FOX Sports ahead of Sunday’s games on Christmas Eve that there could be as many as nine head coach vacancies in the NFL in a few weeks once the 2023 NFL regular season is officially over.
That’s a pretty big number, meaning coaching candidates around the league and from the college game will be lining up with their resumes in hand to land one of these jobs.
Jim Harbaugh of the University of Michigan is one college head coach with a lot of experience on the NFL level who has been considered a hot commodity with so many expected vacancies in the league.
Harbaugh’s name seems to come up every single year, as he was linked to quite a few teams last year around this time of year and throughout the NFL offseason but chose to remain with the Wolverines.
On Sunday, the plot thickens once again when it comes to Harbaugh’s future, as he has been offered a massive contract to stay with the school for the next decade, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network via Dov Kleiman.
𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: Jim Harbaugh has a 10-year, $125M contract offer from Michigan.
The only catch, he can’t leave for the NFL until after the 2024 season.

Here are some fan reactions to Michigan offering Harbaugh a massive contract to stay with the school for the next decade:
He still going to the NFL

SIGN THE PAPER JIM

Too much money he is not deserving

Works out perfect he can see his NFL options this year and if doesn’t work out sign the contract and be back in the nfl market next year assuming Michigan didn’t put a deadline on that deal

Even though it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see Harbaugh sign the massive deal and stay with Michigan a little while longer, there seems to be a lot of smoke about his desire to return to the NFL right now, which means there’s a likely some truth to the rumors.
It’ll be interesting to see where Harbaugh ends up and if the draw to coach the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, or another team in the league is too good to pass up on.
